Henry Ruggs: A Convicted Ex-NFL Star’s Legacy in a Tragic DUI CrashIn the land of football, Henry Ruggs III was a legend—no one could have remembered him more than his career. As an former Convicted Ex-NFL Star, he had earned a reputation for his basketball skills, his dedication to the game, and his ability to stay true to himself after facing the harsh realities of college life. But Henry Ruggs’ story was written with a dark note when he died in 2021 from a fiery drunken driving accident. Tina Tintor, his wife of five years and mother of three, was his closest friend and confidant, and her passing left an indelible mark on the lives of those around her.
The incident began on September 4th, when Henry Ruggs III was traveling to a home in Texas when he suddenly found himself in a collision. He was driving northeast towards a neighborhood where his wife lived, hitting another vehicle that rolled away into traffic. Henry then turned south toward his home, where he was stopped by the law for a DUI charge. He failed to yield and entered the intersection, resulting in a fiery crash that left multiple people injured.
Tina Tintor, who had been on her way back from an event with friends when they met Henry, took no time at all to offer her support. She explained that she was traveling with a large group of close friends, and he had caused quite the stir when they encountered them in traffic. Tina described his death as an accident that left a lasting impression on her family, and she offered comfort and understanding.
Henry Ruggs’ family, however, took it their way. They visited home in Texas where he had been living for nearly two years, hoping to find some closure and reflection on his journey. The family sent him an apology via Face2Face Africa, a platform that connects people across the world through heartfelt stories of overcoming adversity.
In his home country, Henry Ruggs returned just four days later, carrying his football team back into the spotlight, much to Tina Tintor’s friends’ shock. Tina felt a quiet sense of pride in seeing him go home after such an tragic accident, and she continued to support him as he worked hard for his next chapter in life.
Henry Ruggs’ legacy in his home country is well-documented—both as a legend and as a man who sought to leave the world on his terms. His ability to stay true to himself, even after facing the challenges of his career, shows the depth of what it means to protect one’s soul from death. The tragedy that led to his passing has brought an added layer of weight to Tina Tintor’s life, reminding us how much we need to honor the lives she had lost and the impact they can have on others.
In a world where so many people pass away in tragic circumstances, Henry Ruggs’ story serves as a reminder of the strength found in one’s ability to turn a tragedy into an opportunity for growth. Through his former football career, he was not just remembered—he was chosen, and he is chosen again in Tina Tintor’s life.
